I'm a relatively new user of Ferret, coming from the GIS
community rather than the Physical Oceanography community. I've obtained
several relatively large data sets in .cdf format that display just fine in
Ferret. What I'd like to do however, is to convert them into a format
that can be read by a standard GIS package (ArcInfo). I'm guessing that
the best way to do this is to convert it into ASCII, but in trying to do this
using the LIST command, I'm only able to get a maximum of 255 columns worth of
data. Is there a way of expanding this limit, or effecting a workaround?
It's probably an easy solution, but my lack of familiarity with the program is
holding me up. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks,
